Main criteria:- Should loop nicely (similar to RPM or better)- For tricks that need to be finished off with a loop (darkslide or handplant kiteloop backroll), the kite should generate good power in this kind of late loop to finish the trick (my 12m Rise fails at this)- Should perform decent in waves (strapless wave usage about 25%, rest is twin tip in choppy to flat water conditions)- Unhooked: Decent unhooked performance for simple tricks is a plus, I don't care about things like line slack (don't attempt handle passes)- I prefer it if the kite has power on demand when parked versus having to fly it actively to generate power- Prefer direct steering without too much delay

"All in all for a wave kite this kite just got better . Please try and I'd like to see your thoughts . 10 years of buying every sling shot out there and I'm never going back , this kite seems like an advanced rpm with added range at both ends , try and enjoy .

The Bandits 6 are really nice kites; I really love them: so smooth you can kite for hours and hours.
